It is certain that the decentralized nature of Bitcoin would allow to continue to function even in the face of a catastrophic event like a nuclear war. The nodes all around the world with a copy of the blockchain are privately owned, and as long as at least 2 of them do exist, bitcoin will continue to thrive. It should be noted that internet is just the most comfortable interface, but internet isn't necessarily inherent to bitcoin. What truly defines bitcoin is PoW. As long as the incentives continue to exist, the miners will find a way to comunicate with the network in order to be rewarded.
